Why is the 88' a better choice then the 89' then?
the speed density(87-88) cars are faster stock but once u start moddingu need a mass air car!other wise the engine will not realize it been hopped up!
So the 87-88's are the better option if you plan on leaving it stock, but if you plan on bolting on anything then the 89' is the better option.

no the reason the 87-88 are faster they dont have the factory mass air meter in the intake tract if u upgrade to a larger 70mm(stock is something like 55) then it will level the playing field!

ehh, everybody's got their preferences... personaly i prefer having airbags than a tilt steering, so 90-92 (didn't include 93 because of the hyper pistons obviously) ...and of course i have to preach a little for the early 1990 model, just because it's still a 25th anniversary edition, so you get the badge and the leather shift ****

As you can tell everyone has there own certain year that is special to them.
I personally like the look of a 87-93 better than the 79-86.
The 5 star wheels on the 91-93 look good on any year stang.

Are you sure the 89's had mass air? I could be worng but I could have sworn that they started mass air in 1990.
